[Intro]
(Oh, yeah, ayy-ayy)
(Oh, yeah, ayy-ayy)
[Verse 1]
I'm homesick
For somewhere that doesn't exist
For someone I'm still learnin' to miss
It's like you've been replaced
My home video tapes
[Pre-Chorus]
Sun goes up then the sun goes down
Then your shadow gets longer on the ground
Then it's all for what 'cause you're not around
But I still hope I make you proud
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm running after something trying to catch your ghost
Holding onto pictures and the smell of your clothes
Feel you slippin' through my fingers
And I know I'll never reach you
But you're part of mе, I can't let you go
So I just keep on chasing shadows of you, of you, ooh-ooh, ooh
Chasing shadows of you, of you
[Verse 2]
I'm homesick
For conversations I would avoid
And now I miss thе sound of your voice
It's like you've been replaced
By a tattoo of your name
[Pre-Chorus]
Sun goes up then the sun goes down
Then your shadow gets longer on the ground
Then it's all for what 'cause you're not around
But I still feel your here somehow
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm running after something trying to catch your ghost
Holding onto pictures and the smell of your clothes
Feel you slippin' through my fingers
And I know I'll never reach you
But you're part of me, I can't let you go
So I just keep on chasing shadows of you, of you, ooh-ooh, ooh
Chasing shadows of you, of you
[Outro]
Said goodbye, wasn't ready yet
Only see you in this silhouette
Now there's nothing but a shadow left
Of you, you, you
So I'll just keep on chasing shadows of you, of you, ooh-ooh, ooh
